✨ Directory Therapist Spotlight ✨

We love celebrating the incredible work our Restore Scar Therapy Directory members are doing every single day — and this feedback for Shannon Al-Samaraie truly speaks for itself.

After sustaining a shin haematoma in a car accident that became infected and required hospitalisation, Shannon’s client was referred for specialist opinion and management.

After just three sessions over two months, the improvement has been significant — with both client and GP delighted with the progress.

Here’s what her client shared:

“Shannon assessed the injury and got to work on it straight away. After only 3 visits in approximately 2 months, my injury has improved significantly. There is still a way to go but I am so happy with my progress so far, as is my GP! Shannon is incredibly knowledgeable, experienced, empathetic and a truly lovely lady. I would very highly recommend her to any prospective clients. Thank you Shannon, I am incredibly grateful!”

This is exactly what specialist scar therapy can do — supporting healing, improving function and restoring confidence after trauma or surgery.

We are so proud to have Shannon as part of our directory community 💛

Busting common lymphoedema myths 👍🏼

Lymphoedema is still widely misunderstood, and many people aren’t aware of the signs, causes, or how it can be managed.

During i’m sharing a few common myths that often prevent people from seeking help or understanding their symptoms.

The truth is that lymphoedema:

- doesn’t only occur after cancer treatment
- isn’t something you should ignore if swelling persists
- can be effectively managed with the right support
- is often helped by properly fitted compression garments
- can affect more areas of the body than just arms and legs

Early assessment and management can make a significant difference to long-term outcomes.

If you have persistent swelling, heaviness, tightness, or skin changes, it may be worth having it assessed.

It’s Lymphoedema Awareness Week (2-8 March) 💙

Lymphoedema affects thousands yet many people have never heard of it until they’re diagnosed. It is a chronic condition that causes swelling when the lymphatic system isn’t working effectively. It can occur after cancer treatment, surgery, injury, infection, or genetic factors. Early diagnosis and treatment can make a big difference.

At Flow, we support people with:
• lymphoedema
• lipoedema
• post-surgical swelling
• scarring and fibrosis
• cording
• and more

If you’ve noticed persistent swelling, heaviness, tightness, or skin changes, it may be worth having it assessed. The earlier lymphoedema is managed, the better the long-term outcomes.

Prophylactic compression after axillary dissection can reduce the incidence of lymphoedema

This study was conducted to determine whether prophylactic use of compression sleeves prevents arm swelling in women who had undergone axillary lymph node dissection for breast cancer surgery, and showed that prophylactic use of compression sleeves compared with the control group reduced and delayed the occurrence of arm swelling in women at high risk for lymphedema in the first year after surgery for breast cancer.
